Walk Report

Fourteen members took part in today's walk, including friends from both the Essex & Herts and Surrey groups. We were fortunate with the weather; nothing worse than a bit of mizzle. But consequently, some of the long-distance views towards London and the Dartford Crossing were shrouded in mist. The only slight issue that we had was dealing with an overzealous golf course official who tried to point out that there was no footpath across the golf course, despite there being waymark signs and the GPX showing we were on the correct route.
